Who Didn't Know what "Purple Drank" was until yesterday?

[HopJokey]

I didn't know what the "Purple Drank"/"Sizzurp" was (Codeine cough syrup mixed with Jolly Ranchers and Sprite) until JaMarcus Russell was busted.

Anyone else heard about the term but didn't exactly know what it was until the "JaBust" story?

I felt so out of the times when I heard about this today. I'd heard of Purple Drank and Sizzurp... but I didn't actually know what it was. I thought it was like... how the cool kids refer to their grape juice and coca-cola.

I guess that's vaguely similar to a drink invented by my friend and I.

-few tablespoons of cough syrup containing dextromethorphan
-few shots of lemon juice
-few shots of vodka
-fill to the top with sprite

I always thought it was a racist way of saying "grape drink".

Purple drank = grape kool-aid popular with many African American's while eating fried chicken wangs and watermelon.

How the fuck is 'drink' a racist way of saying 'juice'? It's common knowledge (or so I thought) that drinks that don't contain any real juice can't be called 'juice', so they call it 'drink'. Like that cheap store-brand grapefruit drink you see everywhere.

The idea is that white people have enough money to buy real grape juice while black people can only afford grape drink (koolaid).

That shit was crazy expensive. It's clearly a white people drink. It was also really sweet and didn't make you less thirsty; it was as thick as milk.

Except it wouldn't be real kool-aid, but the cheap store knock off.

I didn't know all the ingredients, but I knew the primary one was cough syrup.
